ATM Camera Photo of Suspect
On May 25, 2004, the body of 53-year-old Oakey Albert “Al” Kite,
Jr. was discovered in the basement of his residence in Aurora, CO. Kite had been bound, beaten, tortured, and
stabbed.
Kite’s wallet and cell phone were taken from the scene. An unidentified male attempted to use his debit card at an
ATM following the murder. Surveillance video from the ATM shows a male wearing a ski mask driving Kite’s
pickup truck, which was later recovered near Kite’s residence. Kite’s cell phone was discovered in a pay phone
booth.
A male who rented a room from Kite prior to his murder is the primary suspect in this case. The renter, who
identified himself as “Robert Cooper,” claimed to be from the East Coast and to work for Wells Fargo Bank. He
provided false identification and contact information on his rental application. Witnesses generally described the
suspect male as white, in his forties or fifties, 5’10”, 170 to 180 pounds, with black or brown hair. Witnesses
reported that he walked with a limp and used a cane, and another reported that he spoke with a possible Romanian
accent.
